10 Dream Star Trek Moments That Could Still Happen

5. T’Pol In Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks was a lot more katra than any of us had anticipated. Fissure Quest got out a Vulcan lute, played 'dun dun duuun!' and then whacked us over the head with it. The previously only imaginable had happened. Jolene Blalock had returned to Star Trek. Of all the quantum realities in all the multiverse…

The alternate T'Pol's animated appearance then leaves us all the more hopeful for the return of her Prime counterpart in live action. Vulcan lifespans are particularly long — upwards of 200 years. Born in 2088, T'Pol would be 171 by 2259, the year in which Hegemony, current latest of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, is set. By way of comparison, the temporal duplicate T'Pol from E² was around 182 years old.

There is more than one 'Lost Era' in Star Trek, after all. T'Pol is the living link to bridge the gap. The 1701 owes more than just a piece of itself to the NX-01, and those Travis and Hoshi fans would surely be more than glad to give T'Pol at least the guided tour. As a Vulcan, T'Pol's katra could also live on indefinitely after death. Perhaps a few cadets could pay a visit to the 'Hall of Ancient Thought'?
